SUPER RIGID CONSTRUCTION
Built to endure years and years of rigorous high production turning, the heavily ribbed, thermally balanced, super rigidity bed and column are of MEEHANITE casting. It is capable of withstanding much greater stress without deforming and provides maximum vibration dampening, which result in a machine that will outlast and outperform the competition.
By using Finite Element Analysis ( FEA ), optimal reinforce ribbings are directly cast into the bed and column structure. Mechanical rigidity has been increased by more than 30% when compared to conventional designs. The GV-1 series is capable of performing super heavy-duty turning and maintain long-term super high precision accuracy. More rigidity also means extended tool life.

Extra wide hardened and ground box ways are directly formed onto the machine bed during the casting process. The box way design provides the rigidity needed for heavy duty and interrupted turning applications.
Spindle and servo motors of each axis rapid systems are FANUC αi series components to ensure peak machining performance and accuracy.
